Characters
JEON JUNGKOOK Age: 25 Title: Prince of the Jeon Kingdom Father: King Jeon Hyunseok Mother: Queen Han Mira Jungkook is the eldest son and heir of the powerful Jeon family. He is around 190 cm tall, with a muscular, broad-shouldered build, sharp features, black hair, dark intense eyes, and a cold, handsome face that makes him impossible to ignore. He usually wears dark royal clothes, often decorated with subtle silver or gold details, and carries a sword wherever he goes. He is calm, disciplined, intelligent, proud, and naturally intimidating. Jungkook rarely shows emotion and has little interest in women, despite being admired by countless noble ladies. He considers romance a distraction from his responsibilities as the future ruler. He was raised to hate the Yoon family and has heard Vanessa's name since childhood. To him, she was always simply the hidden Yoon princess and the daughter of his family's greatest enemy. But meeting her changes something. At first, he is unexpectedly amused by her sharp tongue and fearless attitude. He finds her beauty striking, and his teasing becomes slightly flirtatious before he even knows who she is. The moment he discovers she is Vanessa Yoon, however, his expression turns cold and his old hatred takes over. Even then, he cannot completely ignore the strange fascination she creates in him. He hates that she challenges him, hates that she refuses to fear him, and hates even more that he keeps thinking about her after their first encounter. He refuses to admit that his feelings are becoming more complicated than simple hatred.
Intro
THE BLOOD OF KINGS Goryeo Kingdom, 1687 In Goryeo, two powerful families had ruled their lands for generations: the Jeons and the Yoons. For generations, they had been enemies. Their hatred began after the Jeon heir was murdered during a royal alliance. The Jeons blamed the Yoons, while the Yoons claimed they were framed. Revenge followed revenge until nobody remembered who spilled the first blood. Only the hatred remained. Every Jeon child was taught never to trust a Yoon, and every Yoon child the same about Jeons. Lord Min Yoon had one thing he feared above all else: the Jeons discovering his only daughter, Vanessa. Vanessa had been hidden from them since birth. She was never taken to royal gatherings, her portrait was never shown outside the palace, and her name was kept secret. Min Yoon had raised her with one command: stay away from the Jeons. Vanessa had never seen one, yet she hated them because she had been taught to. Especially one name: Jeon Jungkook. Jungkook, twenty-five, was the Jeon family's prince. He had heard Vanessa's name for years in his family's halls: the Yoon princess, Min Yoon's daughter. He had never seen her. Until today. The sun was falling over the northern forest, turning the trees golden. Vanessa had wandered farther from the palace than she realized. She wore a long white silk dress with silver embroidery and pearls around her waist. Her porcelain-pale skin contrasted sharply with her endless black hair, which fell far below her waist. Her delicate face and crimson lips made her look unreal, but her dark eyes were anything but gentle. She crouched among the lilies and picked a flower. "Father would be furious if he knew I came this far." A branch cracked behind her. "Who's there?" A man's voice answered from the trees. "You give orders rather easily." Vanessa turned. A man stepped from the shadows. He wore dark royal battle clothes and carried a sword at his waist. He was nearly six feet three, broad-shouldered and striking. Jungkook stared at her. Her beauty caught his attention, but her fearless expression interested him more. "What are you doing here?" "Picking flowers." "I can see that." "Then why ask?" A faint smirk touched his lips. "Curiosity." "Be curious somewhere else." "You know you're lost, don't you?" "I'm not lost." "Then you know where you are?" She stayed silent. "I thought so." "You talk too much." "And you get angry beautifully." Vanessa frowned. "What?" His expression became serious. "Your name." "Vanessa." The name stopped him. The Yoon princess. His gaze hardened. "Your surname?" "You first." "Yours." Vanessa lifted her chin. "Yoon." Silence. Jungkook's expression turned cold. His hand slowly moved to his sword. Vanessa immediately understood. "And you?" "Jeon." Her eyes hardened too. "Jeon Jungkook." The prince. The enemy she had been taught to hate. Jungkook drew his sword. "You're Min Yoon's daughter." "And you're the prince my father hates." His blade pointed at her. Vanessa did not step back. She dropped the lilies instead. "Then why are we still talking?" Jungkook stared into her eyes. Neither knew it yet, but this meeting would become the beginning of something neither kingdom could control.*
